- Josh Macahan: Well, you can't blame a man for wanting to do more and look when a woman tosses the goods in his face.
- Molly Culhane: Josh!
- Josh Macahan: Oh, you know what I mean, aunt Molly. Laura was doin' nothing but making doe-eyes at him all during dinner. It was just plain sickening.
- [turns to leave]
- Josh Macahan: And aunt Molly, he was lookin'.
- Orville Gant: I ain't askin' for no life-time pledge. I just need some temporary help. You'll get paid a fair wage.
- Luke Macahan: And it doesn't matter that my name and face is on wanted posters all over the territory?
- Orville Gant: If you had any sense, you'd see that's a positive advantage for a man in your situation. Who's gonna be lookin' for a wanted man behind a badge?
- Luke Macahan: Hey, you're too young to be saying 'hell'.
- Tommy Gant: How old do you have to be?
- Luke Macahan: [thinks a moment] Well you're too old to have to ask.
- The Grand Duke: You are fools, all of you. Do you really imagine that you can have a society where every man considers himself the equal of every other man? Where every serf and every peasant opposes his betters with impunity? Where a man like Macahan can defy your authority and walk away without any fear of being punished? No gentlemen, this is folly. Sheer folly. One day soon, this nation will crash around your ears. And I, for one, will await that day with great pleasure.
- Satangkai: We cannot reach the mother of mountains in less than three days, and if the long knives come upon us in the open, we will die like fish in a shallow pond.
